Not too bad, but feeling a little anxious about how many things I need to deal with ~get done. Last night specifically, but continuing on today I have that awful, lurking feeling I get when, if I don't "take charge" of some things NOW, I'm headed for a bad fall. So....taking a deep breath and trying to focus on one thing at a time.....

Oh, oh. I'm slippin'.

There I was doing real good, and over the past few hours I've come to realize that I'm not doing so hot.

It seems I got to doing real good while my S.O. was away out of town. Since his return, I've seen my state of mind get less and less great. It may have nothing to do with him going, or coming back, and then again - it might.

I wish I understood myself better.

Oh Rose....I am feeling for you. Those ups and downs can be torture, to be sure. One thought, and it's just my personal opinion....It's hard to understand yourself when the demon that is depression is the one in charge of your thoughts and feelings. You might have already seen this in one of my posts, but I had a therapist who used to tell me "try to remember that you are not your depression". Such a challenge to realize that at times, but for what it's worth. Sending good thoughts your way.....

I'm doing ok. I had therapy, which always leaves me feeling emotionally raw, but tonight is not as bad as it is sometimes. Although, I have a headache. Again, not a horrible headache, just nagging discomfort.

I think that when my S.O. was off visiting family, I didn't worry so much about him because I knew his family was taking good care of him. Now that he is back at this other end of the country, where he has no one but me, I guess I feel like I am always fretting. He is kind of frail. We don't live together. We talk several times a day by phone. I am over to see him frequently.

I don't really feel depressed . . . not at all. I feel strained. I didn't realize how much I worry about him, until his welfare was safely in the hands of his adult children. After a few weeks of that, I felt like the weight of the world was off me. I didn't even know why I felt so good. Maybe this analysis is wrong.

I don't begrudge feeling concerned about someone that I am so very fond of. Maybe it is a lot to carry. The relationship wasn't good enough for us to stay under one roof. So I arranged for us to have separate roofs. He seems content enough with that. He wasn't happy with us living together, either. But he knows that, if the least little thing goes wrong, I am right there . . . in the hospital or at his apartment . . . for as often and as long as needed.

I used to think that the nice thing about not being married was that there never has to be a divorce. Instead, I agreed to an adoption, without even realizing that was what I was doing. For the next 49 weeks, his adult children won't have a care in the world with respect to him . . . other than the occasional phone call.

Meanwhile, I'm afraid to travel anywhere distant . . . for fear of leaving him alone.

What a stupid mess I made of my life. I sure wasn't the least bit clever.

I must sound awful.

Doing bad again, got out of bed at about 1230pm, then went out for a bit, then got home at about 4pm and back to bed, then got up at about 6pm. I've just been flat and while I am depressed and having suicidal thoughts, I don't feel sad or anything.

On the roller-coaster of emotion again. Laughed pretty hard for the first time in a long time yesterday; but today, right back in the dumps. Depression sucks.

Augh!!!! I hate it at work when I can't get my point across correctly and then I feel like such a stupid idiot. I know what I am supposed to do, I know what I am thinking, and yet when I try to communicate as such, it sounds like I don't have a grasp on the situation. Or maybe I am not being listened to? I don't know but it is hard enough being depressed and then feeling like a moron on top of it. *grrrrr*
Sorry for the quick rant. I needed a vent.

Woke up (too early) in a bad way. Completely exhausted, bad headache, and dreading the day, but with so many things to get done. Hate this demon.....
